These Famous Celebrity Couples Are In It for the Long Haul
Ever so often, we hear that our favorite celebrity couple has broken up or called their divorce lawyers to legally call it quits and it just ruins our day. Think Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt or Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Of course, it’s a sad event made even worse when family lawyers are involved and the parents fight for the custody of their children.
And yet, there are plenty of stars who have stayed together for a long time and weathered many storms together. Sure, marriage is a gamble, and there are many times when one feels like loading their U-Haul and moving out, but in the end… love wins! That’s why it’s so heartening to hear of long-lasting marriages and relationships, which certainly is not the norm in Hollywood.
Here are some celebrity couples who have us rooting for them.
Larry Bird – Married to Dinah Mattingly for 33 Years
Behind every successful man is the woman who unconditionally supports him – this rings true for Larry Bird’s deep bond with his wife, Dinah Mattingly. Petite and soft-spoken, she nurtured his dreams as if they were her own and gave him wings to become the NBA legend he is today.
Larry and Dinah met during college, but it took a while before they found each other and began dating. They took a dozen years to get married in an intimate ceremony attended by only seven of their loved ones in 1989. While the former basketball player has stayed in the limelight his entire career, she has always preferred to lead her life out of the spotlight.
